No previous account. What would you care to debate?

He's always looked like an offensive tackle to me.

It takes a real creep to disrespect a college kid who obviously wants better for himself and the team.

“Fans” are the worst. They clown guys for leaving early. They clown guys for coming back.

Guys like Ford coming back is a positive. You need 3/4/5 year guys in the trenches. He will be a 5 year guy. To anybody not happy with this, wake the f up!

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

I’m glad to have him. Welcome back and hope he grinds this year

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

This is very good news. A lot of people clowning him, but he had a very good game against VT and maybe that game goes differently without him. He's obviously not an All-ACC type player, but he's solid and can provide excellent depth.

Welp..waiting. Suggesting I'm a troll..yeah JOHN FORD was the perfect time to pounce..lol.
Conspiracy theories aside, I don't see any kind of consistency (effort?) in his game. Can penetrate/push the pocket some, but finding the ball to finish plays/lateral movement appears to be an issue. 9 tackles/10 assists is what I found, quite similar to '19. Probly hasn't benefited from much in terms of coaching.
Re: his return, you "like it". Why?

Btw: this troll has only been a Hurricane enthusiast back to the 80's, so if there's something you want to discuss..bring it.

You don’t know what you got till it’s gone. That’s all I’ll say. If you don’t think we will need a full grown man at DT next year and that will be a big luxury to help along guys like JHH and Taylor you are nuts

 

[The Sphinx]

Big body needed for depth. Not a game changer (I had hoped he'd be one by now) but he plays a needed role. At a minimum, his return allows us to leave Haye and Taylor in the lab with Feeley until they're ready.

We don't have a dominator inside, so we will need to be effective by committee - platooning DTs to wear down other teams.

Maybe with a good DL coach, he takes his game to another level next year. No matter, it's a good move for us.

 

[TemplarCane]

Great news.

Ford never became the monster DT we hoped for and need but there’s nothing wrong with veterans in the lockerroom. His presence might take away reps from a younger player but too often we’ve had young players forced into playing too early and this has only hindered their development. Especially at DT, where early physical development is key to their long term future.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Yeah, no doubt, Bama will go 13-0 next year

Strong take

 

[dstuart4]

Strong take

yeah, he's really going out on a limb there....

 

[dudenate]

Good decision by the kid. Good for him and good for the team.

 

[canes732]

"Above average"..why would you say that?

"Huge"? Miller not sufficient for the role? Understand the need for "grown men" v Bama - but we're getting hammered regardless. And whose development does he stunt by taking reps?

I’m not just looking at bama. Looking at the whole season. I mean we all complained we never could kee guys from the draft now we get a guy back who’s been ok and we cry why the ****

Wow I feel like a dumb asss. It seems obvious now lol. Thanks.

The word hooper is an archaic English term for a person who aided a cooper in the building of barrels by creating the hoop for the barrel.

Seems legit. Thanks.
